A lonely mother
gazing out of her window
staring at her son that
she just can't touch
If at any time
he's in a jam
she'll be at his side
but he doesn't realise
he hurts her so much
But all the praying
just ain't helping at all
cuz he can't seem to
keep his self out
of trouble
So he goes out
and he makes his money
the best way
he knows how
Another body
layin' cold in the gutter
listen to me
Don't go chasing
waterfalls
please stick to the rivers
and the lakes
that you're used to
I know that you're
gonna have it your way
or nothing at all
but I think you're
moving too fast
Little precious has
a natural obsession
for temptation but
he just can't see
She gives him loving
that his body can't handle
and all he can say is
"Baby is good to me"
One day he goes
and takes a glimpse
in the mirror
but he doesn't
recognise his own face
His health is fading
but he doesn't know why
three letters took him
to his final resting place
Don't go chasing
waterfalls
please stick to the rivers
and the lakes
that you're used to
I know that you're
gonna have it your way
or nothing at all
but I think you're
moving too fast
See a rainbow yesterday
but too many storms
have come and gone
leaving a trace of
not one God given ray
Is it because my life
is ten shades of grey
I pray all ten fade away
seldom praise him
for the sunny days
And like his promise
is true only my faith
can undo the many
chances I blew
to bring my life to anew
Clear blue and
unconditional skies
I dry the tears
from my eyes
no more lonely cries
Don't go chasing
waterfalls
please stick to the rivers
and the lakes
that you're used to
I know that you're
gonna have it your way
or nothing at all
but I think you're
moving too fast
Oh you're moving too fast
don't go chasing waterfalls
please stick to the rivers
and the lakes
that you're used to
I know that you're
gonna have it your way
or nothing at all
but I think you're
moving too fast
Moving too fast
